Troubleshooting

Bolt is stiff or difficult to slide

Ensure no obstructions are in the bolt's path. Check that the receiver is aligned correctly with the bolt. Lubricate the bolt mechanism lightly with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Screws do not grip securely in the wood

If the wood is soft or the pilot holes are too large, try using slightly larger screws or wood filler to secure the screws properly.

Bolt does not engage fully with the receiver

Adjust the position of the bolt body or the receiver on the door and frame to ensure proper alignment. Check that the door is closing fully without interference.
